The mass of business that burst.
upon the Interstate Commerce COM
mission as soon as it began work was
80 great as to be practically unman-
ageable. The trouble was principally
over the clause of the law prohibit
ing greater charge for carrying
freight than is charged for a longer
distance over the same line. In
numerous cases railroads took freights
at points where they had to meet the
competition of water routes at rates.
lower than they charged from in.
terror points where there was no such
competition, and it was contended
that if they were not allowed to do
this they would be driven out Of
business at the competitive points
and rates at interior points would be
higher in'consequence. Committees
from several Southern cities made
statements to the commission that
the enforcement of the long and short,
haul clause would be disastrous to.
Southern industries, and all the
Southern railroads applied to the
commission for relief from the clause,
which the law authorizes the COM.
mission to grant when special cir.
cumstances make such action neces-.
sary. 1t was, of course, impossible,
to investigate each case in detail, and
the commission met the difficulty by
suspending the operation of the
clause for ninety days, during
which time they will investi-
gate the matter. Meanwhile the
great railroad lines have gotten out:
new schedules of rates, in accordance
with the provisions Of the law for
bidding special rates and free passes.
and q good deal Of complaint is heard,.
business not having yet adjusted it
self to the new conditions. It should
be remembered that of the 319,152.
miles Of railroad in the world there
are 123, 800 in this country, all either
directly or by their connections SUBJ.
ject to the control of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The system.
izing Of jurisdiction of such mag.
nitude must necessarily be work Of
time and patience, and the belief is
general in the Washington depart
ments that eventually the commits.
sion will be one of the largest bureaus
of the government.

Good Prospect for Mexico to Sc
cure the Missouri Masonic
Home.

It is possible that Mexico may Sc
cure the State Masonic Home, to he
located in some Missouri city in the
near future. At a meeting of the
Grand Lodge 10 st. Louis 5 few
days ago, the matter vas brought un
and discussed. 1t was decided, among
other things, that the Home should
be located on some main line railroad
This practically shuts Fulton-this
town having sent in a good bid-out
of the race, as the place can only be
reached by a branch railroad from
Mexico. This city has the best of
railroad facilities, and ifa respectable
bid is submitted within the next forty
days, the prospect is excellent for
the location of the Home here. A.
G. Barnes, who was one of the dele
gates from this city to the Grand
Lodge, said to q LEDGER reporter
this forenoon:
Il cannot see any reason why the
Home should not be brought to Mex
leo. We have good railroad faeili-
ties, and l think with the proper eff
font. we can secure its location. At
first it was thought st. Louis would
secure the institution without an eff
fort, but it begins to look now as if
the heavy subscribers there T moi
as much in the notion of making
liberal donations as they were some
time since"
"You think, them said the re-
porter, ''thst our chances for secur-
ing the Home are good"
Indeed I do. All that is neces
sary is an effort on the part of the
citizens, and I think we will secur,
the location.

BOUNCED.

On Wednesday last labor agitator
from Milwaukee reached this city. His
name was Thompson, and he had the
revolutionary appearance of the profess
sional agitator who makes his living off
the laborer without having a spark of
sympathy with him. Revisited Hanson's
ship yard and talked for a while with the
men. He then went to the ship yard of
the Dry Dock Co. George Burger didn't
like the fellows appearance and told the
men to keep ian eye on him." It was
soon learned that he was among the men
to provoke discomfort. Henry Burger,
when learning this, proceeded at once ii
search Of him and found him in the
oalum shop preaching the wrongs of the
laborer to the men present. Henry pull
ed him ont without much ceremony and
the fellow begged to be let off promising
to do nothing more toward creating
trouble He made no further attempt to
propagate his doctrines in the city, but
left on the first train.
The ship carpenters are quite an intel
igent lot of men and know full well when
it is proper for them to strike without
advice from the professional agitators.
There has always been the most cordial
relations between the employers and en-
ployed in the ship-yards at this place, and
it is a very bad place for any outsider to
attempt to breed disturbance.
